Brian always listens to me and does a great job matching my level of energy. He quickly picks up on what kind of mood I am in, and directs our sessions accordingly. He has provided some great insights and helps me organize the thoughts I am feeling into a manageable set of items.

He is a very compassionate person who understands what I am going through and gives me clarity and positive feedback regarding my situation.

I am so glad that better help set me up with Brian. He’s calm and understanding. And the fact that he is Catholic is an extra benefit.

Brain has been so wonderful to talk to and for me to be able to express everything. I have felt very comfortable being able to let all of my feeling out and know that I am not going to be judged. He has lead me in the right direction and I cannot thank him enough for his time and patience.

Brian is helping me a lot. We've only had two sessions so far, so I don't really know if it's Brian or the counseling in general helping me, but I'm doing better and that's good. He listens, and helps me think things through. Helps me to prioritize, and answer things to myself.

A very good counselor and attentive listener.

Written by N.I. on Oct 29, 2019 after counseling with Brian for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety

Incredibly friendly, warm and caring. Consistently makes you feel heard and understood. Celebrates milestones with you. Speaks to you more like a friend than a case study or just another patient. Extremely articulate and intelligent, will think of things you haven't thought of. Could not have picked someone better to receive help from in my hardest moments. 100% recommend.

Written by J.O. on Sep 25, 2019 after counseling with Brian for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem

I've been dealing with anxiety for many years now and Brian has been a huge help for me during a very tough time, he's helped me identify a lot of the thinking errors I had gotten myself into and I can see the differences already. It's great being able to talk to someone who has the knowledge to help as well as having an incredibly understanding mind set when it came to my specific issues.

Brian Edwards is the best. He responds when I login to my email, and it really helps when you sit down, stress out, and think I wish I could be getting things sorted. Yet have to do other things, and then there the message is. It's nice like that.
